The specification is programming language and transport agnostic. The idea is that any language or transport that can send JSON can talk the rosbridge protocol and interact with ROS. The protocol covers subscribing and publishing topics, service calls, getting and setting params, and even compressing messages and more.

Rosbridge Implementation

The rosbridge_suite package is a collection of packages that implement the rosbridge protocol and provides a WebSocket transport layer.

The packages include:

rosbridge_library - The core rosbridge package. The rosbridge_library is responsible for taking the JSON string and sending the commands to ROS and vice versa.

rosbridge_server - While rosbridge_library provides the JSON<->ROS conversion, it leaves the transport layer to others. Rosbridge_server provides a WebSocket connection so browsers can "talk rosbridge." Roslibjs is a JavaScript library for the browser that can talk to ROS via rosbridge_server.
